Xiao Letian fell into a deep silence. Everyone was looking at him, but after ten minutes, he just smiled faintly, "Let them bring the food first. It's almost two o'clock. If you don't eat this, The food is really wasted..."
"Oh! Sir, you want to kill me..." Luo Huo stood up angrily and paced back and forth in the narrow flower hall.
The map on the stone table was finally rolled up, and the cold dishes and drinks were served first. Those hot dishes that were too cold could only be brought back to share with the other guards. The small kitchen quickly started a fire to make new ones.
While Xiao Letian was serving dishes to everyone, he said, "Some people say that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes! I deeply believe this sentence. For a country as big as China, if you want to implement a change from top to bottom, you will not encounter resistance. It’s impossible…”
"A powerful writer once said that in China, even if you try to move a table, someone will bleed to death... Do you think it is serious? In fact, it is really not a joke. You will know clearly after looking at the problems Tanggu is encountering now... "
"Come on, come on, drink this cup..." Xiao Letian took a sip of the warm rice wine, and the sweet and slightly spicy taste refreshed him.
"Actually, there is nothing top-secret. You will understand after I tell you the whole plan. In fact, I have told you this plan in bits and pieces before... It's just that I didn't put any special halo on it. You just I thought it was just an assumption on my part and didn’t take it seriously!”
"What is good above will be bad for the people below! This is how things are in China. As a leader, I cannot show my preferences too much... For example, my favorite crab is the deep-sea king crab from northern Japan, and I especially like to eat the crab legs of this kind of crab, will I tell the whole world this news?"
"As long as this news leaks out, I think eating this kind of king crab will become popular throughout Ryukyu and even within my sphere of influence. People will treat my preference as a new trend, as if what I like is the best in the world. Same!"
"But that's too extravagant. King crab is a specialty in cold waters. It's very difficult to catch. In addition, the journey is long. When this treasure is delivered to us, it can be said to be worth thousands of gold! Will I start this extravagant custom? Of course not, so you can’t publicize my preferences today..."
"I am just giving you this example to tell you that my keeping it a secret is not because I don't believe you, but to prevent my own preferences from being revealed, which will eventually lead to a lot of irrational conformity..."
Xiao Letian gave everyone a prawn dumpling and said with a smile, "It's hard to be a leader these days! Your preferences must not be leaked out. If those flattering lucky entrants get wind of it, they will be like flies." I will support your preferences with all my strength..."
"At that time, many leaders will be dizzy and lose their minds. He will think that he has made the most correct judgment amidst the praise. It is conceivable that defeat is not far away..."
Having said this, Xiao Letian suddenly thought of the story of Yuan Shikai's previous life when he proclaimed himself emperor. Yuan Shikai was very hesitant before he proclaimed himself emperor. Although he had the idea of becoming emperor, he knew that there would definitely be a large number of people who would oppose him.
His son Yuan Keding knew his father's thoughts well, and he also wanted to have a taste of being a prince or even an emperor. As a result, a large number of people kept advocating for his father to become emperor.
The most exaggerated thing is that in order to prevent his father from seeing the opposition voices in the newspapers, he actually spent a lot of money to compile several popular newspapers at the time every day, and replaced the real ones with fake ones for his father to read.
Yuan Shikai reads the newspaper every day and finds that there are still many people who support him? How many opposing voices are there in the media? Could it be that he was really destined to be his destiny?
It was not until after he proclaimed himself emperor that Cai E in the south launched a war to protect the country and expressed his attitude with military actions. At that time, the whole of South China had a voice of support. Yuan Shikai suddenly woke up from his dream and announced the abolition of the monarchy three months later. Five months later A desperate death.
It doesn’t matter whether the legend of Yuan Keding forging newspapers to deceive his father is true or false. What is important is that there were indeed a large number of people around Yuan Shikai who really advocated desperately at that time, because they discovered Yuan Shikai’s inner preferences, and the preferences of the superiors were naturally A shortcut to promotion and fortune.
Xiao Letian shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "If I put forward my thoughts prematurely and let you or more people know my preferences, will the information you feed back to me be true? No, you They won’t give me real information. I believe that 80% of the information will be selective and focused..."
"I don't want those wrong information and data, because this is a national policy, related to the fate of the country and the fate of hundreds of millions of people, so I must keep it secret from you. I think you should be able to understand this..."
Everyone who was sitting down finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, the hot dishes were finally served one after another, and everyone took advantage of the gap between the dishes to take a few bites in succession.
There was still a stormy sky outside the glass window, and within a radius of ten meters there were fully armed soldiers. Their backs were to the flower hall, their shoulders were leaning on each other, and they used their bodies to form a human wall to protect the safety of this highest-level meeting.
Xiao Letian nodded, and the Frenchman Molière said, "I was ordered by the Prime Minister to start a comprehensive calculation and deduction of a top-secret plan. The core of the plan is to calculate the firepower output range of the Zhiyuan, combined with the extreme maneuverability of the Marine Corps. , how much land of the Qing Dynasty can we control..."
With a bang, it turned out that the excited Luo Huo suddenly stood up and brought down his mahogany chair. His excited eyes lit up, "Are we going to start a war? Has the Prime Minister finally made up his mind? I knew you wouldn't let it go." We are disappointed..."
"Sit down! Sit down..." Xiao Le slapped his chopsticks on the table with a snap. "Can you not grab the conversation? No one thinks you are mute! Now I order you to put this person in front of you Eat all the crabs, don't waste any meat, and don't say a word before you finish eating!"
Luo Huo put the four swimming crabs on the plate in front of him with a grimace. He didn't like eating this kind of thing the most, not because it was not delicious, but because the people in the north were used to eating big fish and meat. The delicate work of peeling crab shells is really a kind of torture for him.
Molière smiled at Luo Huo, "Whether the Prime Minister wants to go to war is not an issue considered in the plan, but no matter whether there is a war or not, we must have a plan to prepare for war, right?"
"Okay, let me make a long story short... The Battle of Dakar has proven the feasibility of three-dimensional cooperation tactics between warships and marines. The ultimate range of the 210-caliber naval gun is about 20 kilometers, but due to technical reasons, it can be carried out The range of precision strikes is actually only 8 kilometers..."
Note: Second update! Is there a third update?
